"Perfect; door was sanded and re-stained - looks brand new and expectations are that it will last for approximately 3 years when Rick Jamison will be contacted once again."
"Fantastic work! Initial exterior painting in 2011 was done flawlessly and still looks good except that the front of my home acquired some water damage due to improperly installed gutter. Mr. Lee was very helpful in identifying the problem. He also gave some excellent suggestions regarding water stains and pooling on my property. After getting the water problems fixed, I went ahead and had House Painting repaint the front of my house, and touch up some interior areas. The crew was fantastic for both jobs. There was a very professional foreman, Johnny, who was there every day. He went over the plans and the progress each day. For both exterior and interior, the crew was meticulous in protecting surrounding areas from dust or paint and for the clean up. These are professionals who take their time to prep surfaces properly and let them dry before painting. Could not be more pleased in all aspects of their work and will certainly call upon this company for any painting in the future."
"They did an excellent job of painting the interior of the house, including covering the old and new patched areas with texture, creating a beautiful interior walls. They also painted the decking of the balconies and the railing. The interior looks like a new home. They did a great job and I would use them again and recommend them to anyone."
"My entire experience with John and Casey from Certa Pro painters was top-notch. John demonstrated professionalism, accuracy, and good old customer service. Throughout the entire job, from the initial estimate to working with my budget constrictions he does all he can to make the experience exceptional. Casey was my job foreman and rescued a fireplace that was held together with bubblegum a masking tape. He also covered numerous water stains perfectly and brought a bay window back to life. My new home is now absolutely beautiful inside. If you had seen my home before CertaPro painters had taken such good care of it you would certainly be as happy as I am with their work. I have already had two neighbors who knew what bad shape the inside of my home was in, love the paint job and ask me who painted the inside of my home."
"Christian and his crew of 6 painted my 3800 square foot home in 2 days. Additionally, they accommodated my request to add an additive to the paint for insulation. They were professional and neat. They went beyond the agreement and painted other out buildings. The crew had a good attitude and worked well together."
"I hired Star Painting and Decoration to stain a new fence I had put up on my property. Alvaro and his crew were fantastic! They always showed up on time and did a great job. The fence looks incredible. Will definitely hire again. Thanks Star Painting!"

"We had them pressure wash and re-stain our redwood deck. Ricardo is a great guy, extremely personable and will go over and above to make sure you're happy as a client. We intend on using them again, when the need arises."
Unless you’re using a 2-in-1 formula or painting over an existing coat of paint, it pays to apply a coat of primer ahead of your new paint. Decks see a lot of footfall and exposure to extreme and sudden temperature changes and moisture levels. The primer promotes better paint adhesion, moisture repellency, and a smoother finish, which means you’ll often need fewer coats of paint.
The need for a topcoat on a painted deck depends on various factors, primarily the type of paint used and your desired level of protection. Many premium deck paint formulations are self-sealing, eliminating the necessity for an additional topcoat. These paints often have built-in additives that substantially protect against moisture, UV rays, and everyday wear and tear.
Pressure-treated wood lasts at least 10 years, but with the right care and treatment, it can last as long as 40 years. Painting the boards is one way to increase the lifespan of pressure-treated wood. The layer of paint provides extra protection for the wood against the exterior elements and insects.
If you have a smooth, already bonded concrete surface, painting a concrete pool deck can be a great way to brighten up the area and add longevity. If the surface has another covering or a different type of paint has been used previously, you won’t be able to paint it without removing the existing coating. Wooden decks benefit from painting as it helps to keep them watertight. Quality pool deck paints also help make the surface less slippery and less likely to gather mold and mildew or prematurely crack.
It’s best to use an exterior latex acrylic paint to promote maximum adhesion to composite decking. This flexible paint type can better cope with the natural expansion and contraction that can occur with composite deck boards. Oil-based paints won’t adhere as effectively and are more likely to crack and peel as the boards flex. Testing whether your chosen paint will stick on an inconspicuous section or a spare board is a good idea.
